सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Estonians are very proud of their 'e-state'. Sending an 'e-kiri' with a digital signature is a daily occurrence for everything from banking to voting. During Christmas, it's a popular tradition for children to 'kirja saatma' to Jõuluvana (Santa Claus). These letters are often sent to a special address in Lapland or local Santa posts. The concept of a 'kirjasõber' (pen pal) was very popular in the 20th century and is still used in language learning contexts today. In Estonian business culture, 'kirja saatma' implies a need for a written record. If something is important, Estonians will say 'saada see mulle kirjalikult' (send it to me in writing).
Use 'meili' for friends
While 'kirja saatma' is correct, saying 'Ma saadan sulle meili' sounds more natural among young people.
Watch the 'T'
Don't say 'saama' (to get) when you mean 'saatma' (to send). It's the most common beginner error.
